[edit] References to the term "Norsecore"
http://www.metalstorm.ee/articles/article.php?id=4
- Black Metal was never about being one-dimensionally fast, and this is exactly what Norsecore is, blastbeat and scowling galore. Hardly even fitting the structure of traditional metal (extreme or otherwise), Norsecore frequently falls into a trap of trebly noise.

- "Norsecore" bands are something of the opposite of faggoth, they hold the same ideology as black metal, but without being metal. Essentially, norsecore bands set black metal style lyrical content to a sort of trebly grindcore.

- Norsecore is a musical genre. It´s basically the missing link between Grindcore and Black Metal. While the imagery of BM is there the musical structures are more "Core" than "Metal". Similar, FagGothic is the offspring of the unclean mating of BM with Goth Rock.
- The blueprint for Norsecore is DARKTHRONEs "Transylvanian Hunger" CD. Notice the unaccentuated guitar droning underlaid by breakless drum chaos. Many "elitist" people like to describe that sound as "cold, atmospheric, depressive, whatever" and think everything in that vein is KVLT. People who know their Metal also know that recordings of that kind are well.... Not Metal. If you like or dislike the sound is entirely another thing of course. I don´t and the term was meant derogatory when I invented it but since it has become a valid description
